Me Before You is a 2016 film directed by Thea Sharrock.

At the end of the film Lou is in Paris, reading a letter from Will who tells her that he has engraved her in his heart and that he thought of giving her a push to live her life as she deserves, happy and economically fulfilled, leaving her access to a current account.

Ryan Reynolds' Career

Today's hot topic is.... guess who? Ryan Reynolds! (his career but who cares.)

The charming, affable, and boyishly handsome Reynolds has made his way through everyone's hearts. His captivating personality and his witty humor never fails to amaze the crowd, be it teenagers or people old enough to be his grandmother.

HIS DEBUT ROLE IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY

At the young age of 15, Ryan made his debut as Billy Simpson in the Canadian teen soap opera, Hillside, in 1991. The show lasted till 1993. Along with that, his journey in Hollywood began from the movie Ordinary Magic in 1993. He played the 15-year-old Ganesh who was born and brought up in India. Hinduism and Mahatma Gandhi's teachings highly influenced his character in this movie.

(WE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING. EVEN WE'RE LOSING OUR SANITY OVER THIS!!!!!)

(Look at our lil' floatie-floatie boy <3333)

Anywaaaaay.

Reynolds had a few supporting parts in films and TV shows. Because he no longer wanted to play an adolescent, he declined the role of Xander in Joss Whedon's Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003). (Terrible fate, we know.) Instead, he was cast in the ABC comedy Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place as medical student Berg (1998–2001).

His role in the comedy The In-Laws marked his entry into the world of high-budget entertainment. He had an appearance in The X-Files episode titled Syzygy. He also made an appearance as the letter 'A' in the A-Team, in the 4225th episode of the popular kids show Sesame Street.

(THIS IS OUR LITTLE ANGRY A-BOY.)

Now the more exciting part,

HIS MOVIES!

When it comes to effortless charisma and wry wit, it's hard to top Canadian charmer Reynolds. But even though the Vancouver-born actor is mostly unchallenged in those categories, it took a while for him to take off as a bonafide movie star. After a decade of hit-or-miss comedies, Reynolds eventually hit the bullseye with 2016's Deadpool, marking the perfect use of his naughty humor and comic delivery.

(Our top G Ryan as Deadpool *rock 'n' roll*)

Deadpool is regarded as one of the best superhero movies of all time and quickly became the highest earning R-Rated film ever, only beaten by Joker in 2019.

A few of his most adorable films include 'Definitely, Maybe' (2008), The Proposal (2009), The Change-Up (2011), and Just Friends (2005).

He's got many spectacular action movies under his belt. A few of them include, The Hitman's Bodyguard (2017) with top-rated co-star Samuel L. Jackson, 6 Underground (2019), Free Guy (2021), Red Notice (2021), and The Adam Project (2022).

Let's not forget his role as Harvey Kinkle (with the bad hair, ew, but he's cute so we'll take it.) in the movie Sabrina The Teenage Witch (1996).

And then there are a few movies which weren't very well received by his audience. These include R.I.P.D. (2013), Amityville Horror (2005), Green Lantern (2011), and Turbo (2013).

Moving on....

AWARDS HE'S RECEIVED OVER THE YEARS.

Our gorgeous superstar Ryan has received many notable awards as his career progressed. The first ever award he received was in 2003, it was the 'Young Hollywood Award for Next Generation - Male'. Then came an award for his role in Green Lantern - 'People's Choice Award for Favorite Superhero' in 2012, even though this movie was met with conflicting reviews, Reynolds managed to win different hearts by doing what he always does. Turn his charm on. (We AREN'T complaining at all.) A huge number of awards followed his movie Deadpool, which was a major box office hit. One for Best Entertainer in a Comedy Movie, and another for Entertainer of The Year.

Here's Ryan accepting the People's Icon Award at the People's Choice Awards 2022. (Look at his adorable smile, we all love him here at Ganesh Lovers' Community.)

Reynolds' has had a total of 60 nominations and 21 wins in his Hollywood career, which is actually quite a lot.

HIS PERSONAL LIFE

Childhood

Reynolds was raised in a Vancouver Irish Catholic home as the youngest of four boys. His parents were police officers and his mother worked in retail. Two of his brothers work in law enforcement, while a third is a member of the RCMP. From 1940 until 1944, his grandfather Chester Reynolds served as a legislator for Stettler, Alberta, as a member of the Social Credit Party.

Love Life

He was engaged to singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette from June 2004 to February 2007, when they called off their engagement.

Ryan with Alanis.

Shortly after, Reynolds started dating actress Scarlett Johansson, with whom he married on September 27, 2008, at a resort in Clayoquot Sound, close to Ucluelet, British Columbia. In December 2010, they divorced and filed for separation.

Ryan with Scarlett.

He started dating Blake Lively, his Green Lantern co-star, in 2011, and the two got married on September 9, 2012.

Ryan with Blake.

Children

Ryan and Blake have three daughters together: James (born in 2014), Inez (born in 2016), and Betty (born in 2020). Betty’s name was publicly revealed by a close friend, Taylor Swift in her song of the same name from the album Folklore.

Them with their three kids. (Our mini Ryan's and Blake's <3)

Personal Achievements

In 2008 and 2009, People magazine ranked Reynolds as one of the sexiest men alive. He was named the magazine's sexiest man alive in 2010.

He was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame in 2011, but the event was postponed since he couldn't make it. (Kinda depressing, TBH.) The day of his official induction was October 18, 2014.

But in December of 2016, Reynolds was honored with a star of his on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

(They're the cutest, seriously.)

Let's move on to....

HIS CHARITY AND ADVOCACY WORK

(This is kind of lengthy, bear with us.)

He's a humble and down-to-earth man, at least from what we've heard, and with the help of his super incredible wifey Blake, they make the power duo and set foot on Earth to save a few souls here and there. Here are a few of their contributions:

A half-million dollars were given to the Canadian nonprofit Water First Education & Training Inc. in March 2022 by Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. 

In Vancouver, Canada, Reynolds also appeared in campaign videos sporting his recognizable "ugly" red-and-green sweater. By January 2021, according to the charity, $640,000 had been raised as a result of his fundraising efforts.

In March 2021, Reynolds and Lively gave $250,000 to a Canadian organization that mentored Indigenous youngsters, Influence Mentoring. 

Reynolds and his wife had also matched donations made to Covenant House Vancouver and Toronto up to a total of $250,000 in a remarkable gesture of generosity to help youngsters who are homeless, victims of trafficking, or in danger, back when COVID-19 had first struck.

Reynolds joined The Michael J. Fox Foundation in 2008 when he participated in Team Fox's New York City Marathon run. Reynolds ran the marathon in his father's memory, finishing in under four hours and raising more than $100,000 for Parkinson research.

And lastly,

HIS ALCOHOL COMPANY AVIATION GIN

As we see his posts on social media promoting his gin company:

Let's give you a brief history on the company and his role in it.

The goal of Aviation Gin was to develop a democratic gin blend with juniper in the background. It was formed in 2006 out of Portland, Oregon. a gin that is suitable for every cocktail. For the next ten years, it would remain mostly unknown.

Fast forward to 2018, when gin use was growing more rapidly than that of any other type of alcohol. This led to substantial changes in the sector, such as Reynolds buying a stake in the Aviation American Gin.  Reynolds is the creative director for the marketing campaign, and it is spectacularly successful (Aviation Gin is now the fastest-growing gin brand in America). How could it not? Reynold is a comic genius who conveys important messages about the quality of gin in the funniest, most approachable ways conceivable. Here's one of his advertisements for the company:

Hilarious! Are we right?!

Ah, sadly we have to end this splendid deep dive into our favorite floatie-boy Ryan Reynold's life here, but! We're not signing off without blessing your eyes with a few photos of his ;)

Your welcome.

Anyway, signing off, it's the dream team, Ganesh Lovers (get it?).

Adios till our next blog!

10 popular Kpop groups to hold up the industry in BTS’ absence

The rise of Kpop has been dramatic. A genre – that was not even a proper genre in the course of western pop culture until very recently, has become a major part of the Global Music Industry. 90% of this success is brought by BTS alone, after all they are not only the most popular Kpop group but also the biggest boy band of the world right now. But there are other artists who have been working tirelessly to keep up the mark, to heighten the bar even more. 

However, all of the BTS members are now enlisted. Last of the four of them, RM, V, Jimin and Jungkook enlisted last December. And now we have none of them present till June, 2024. In the absence of the King of Kpop, who would keep the Kpop industry moving forward? Who will hold up the industry till they come back? 

I have the answer for you. In this blog we will talk about 10 popular kpop groups that will keep kpop alive in American charts in the absence of the Kings. 

However, please note that this list of most popular kpop groups has been crafted keeping 2023 activities in consideration. This is an unofficial list and should be consumed keeping that in mind. 

10 most popular kpop groups these days

1. Blackpink

Members:  Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa

Label: YG Entertainment 

Debuting in the year of 2016, Blackpink has risen to popularity immediately and became one of the most popular Kpop groups. Their first single album Square One included one of their most popular songs named Boombayah. Currently the girl group is referred to as the “Biggest girl group of the world”. 

The achievement of Blackpink includes Four MTV Video Music Awards, Thirteen Circle Chart Music Awards, Three People’s Choice Awards, One Billboard Music Award, Seven Golden Disc Awards, Eleven Guinness World Records, One MTV Europe Music Award, Five Melon Music Awards, Three Seoul Music Awards, Eleven MAMA Awards, One Teen Choice Award. 

They are also recognized as the first Korean girl group to win an MTV Video Music Award as well as the first to receive a nomination at the Brit Awards. The achievements are a testament of their popularity among global fans, namely Blinks. 

Despite the recent controversy of the youngest member Lisa, the girl group was invited by King Charles III as honorary guests of  Members of the Order of the British Empire (MBE). 

Thus, there is no doubt that in the absence of BTS, Blackpink will be keeping Kpop alive in American charts. Obviously, when they have bangers like How you like that, Pretty savage, whistle and more, it’s tough not to become their fans and retain them as one of the most popular Kpop groups in the year of 2024. 

2. Seventeen

Members: S.Coups (Leader), Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, DK, Mingyu, The8, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino

Label: Pledis Entertainment (currently under Hybe)

In my opinion Seventeen is one of the most underrated Kpop bands to exist on the planet. This thirteen member-ed group debuted in the year of 2015 and finally in 2023 it is considered as one of the most popular kpop groups that you can totally listen to and gradually fall in love with.

Seventeen is considered as a “self-producing” group, which means the members write, produce and compose their songs mostly by themselves. Hence, the authenticity that you will hear in their songs is something you can root for. And this is one of the main reasons why Seventeen deserves to be one of the most popular Kpop groups in recent times. 

The group has always been praised for their extraordinary performance skills. They have also gained titles like “Performance Kings“, “K-Pop Performance Powerhouse” and more. As a result the Seventeen has been winning the Best Dance Performance Award at MAMA ever since 2017.  

Recently the band has glorified Korea’s soft power aka entertainment industry even more by being invited and giving a speech at UNESCO’s Youth Forum. 

So, it’s safe to say that everything you want in your idol, you can find it in Seventeen and that is one of the many reasons why they are one of the most popular Kpop Groups in existence and why you should listen to them while BTS serves in the Military.  

3. Stray kids

Members: Bang Chan (Leader), Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N

Label: JYP Entertainment

Featuring in the 3rd number in our list of popular Kpop Groups is Stray Kids. The band debuted in the year of 2017 and has been going strong ever since. Be it hardcore rap numbers like Thunderous or mellow ballads like The View you can find it all in Stray Kids’ discography, making them one of the best idol groups to listen to. 

However, their popularity has not been able to save them from criticism and controversies. Member Hyunjin got involved in a serious case of school bullying and leader Bang Chan had to issue an apology upon receiving criticism regarding some comments he made about young Kpop idols. 

Nevertheless, their popularity has not been tainted, thanks to their loyal fans, Stay. so, if you are thinking of giving their discography a try, then go forward, you won’t be disappointed. They are one of the most popular kpop groups for a reason. 

4. TXT

Members: Yeonjun, Soobin (Leader), Beomgyu, Taehyun, and HueningKai

Label: Big Hit Entertainment

From the house of our Kpop Kings, BTS, here is Tomorrow X Together (TXT), one of the most popular Kpop groups these days. The group debuted in 2019 and they scored big right from their debut. TXT’s debut EP entered US billboard 200 at no. 140. The group has also gained the title of the very first boy group to headline at Lollapalooza. 

Within only four years of debut the group has gained a significant popularity and a very loyal fanbase, MOA. Even though at their initial stage many associated their popularity with BTS (as they were the first boy band Big Hit entertainment introduced after six years of BTS’ debut), the boys proved their talent and established their identity all by themselves. 

One of the many reasons behind TXT’s popularity is their unique discography. I personally like the way their songs stand apart from many fourth generation idols. Songs like Nap of the Star, Run Away, Cats and Dogs, Anti-Romantic are some of the songs you should listen to if you have not already. 

All in all, TXT is a deserving band that certainly deserves a try and should be labeled as one of the most popular kpop groups these days.  

5. Newjeans

Members: Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein

Label: ADOR

It’s been less than 2 years since Newjeans debuted and they are crazy popular already. Even though at some point I question this popularity especially when they are called “The Next BTS”, these girls are definitely doing a lot compared to their age. 

Their popularity soared with their hit number Ditto and OMG. These two songs even got charted in the Billboard Hot 100 as well as the UK singles Chart. And currently Super Shy has been gaining places in charts. As a result they bagged Daesang, Artist of the Year in 2023 MAMA. 

Even though these girls have a long way to go, it has to be admitted that they have already gained a significant amount of popularity and they are certainly one of the most popular kpop groups of the current days.

The Casting of Dahmer Films

"Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story" (2022) is perhaps best-remembered for casting Evan Peters in the titular role; a casting choice that, while Peters was obviously primed for with his early work in "An American Crime" (2007) and award-winning appearances in "American Horror Story" (2011-), many thought of as out of character, with most only remembering him as Quicksilver in "X-Men: Days of Future Past" (2014) and its subsequent sequels. However, this isn't the first time that an actor that portrayed Jeffery Dahmer went on to play a Marvel superhero! While Jeremy Renner, who most know as Hawkeye from the MCU, had been in a handful of films prior, it was only once he starred in "Dahmer" (2002) that he'd quit having to work as a makeup artist just to make ends meet! Quite a coincidence, but still not as strange as casting Ross Lynch, Austin of "Austin & Ally" (2011-2016) and Brady of the Teen Beach Movie duology, as the titular character of "My Friend Dahmer" (2017), an adaptation of the graphic novel memoir of the same name. As of this posting, Jeremy Renner's portrayal is free on Tubi, Ross Lynch's portrayal is free on Tubi, but Evan Peter's portrayal in the Netflix series will still require a subscription... unless you know where to go!

Another find!

'London, let me hear you! Wow, how amazing has the night been? And I've had a little peak at the set list and I know it's going to be an amazing night still to come!

And to kick that off, we have an amazing performer for you. At just age 18, his life changed when he auditioned for the X Factor. Being pulling into a band with 4 other boys, something that had never been done on the show before, One Direction was formed and our lives changed forever.

His success as continued as a solo artist, he released "Just Hold On" as a debut solo single in December 2016. It peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart and was certified platinum in the UK. In 2017, Tomlinson released "Back to You" with American singer Bebe Rexha (which was certified platinum in the USA and the UK) and "Miss You". In the same year, he appeared on Debrett's 2017 list of the most influential people in the UK.

Oh, and I did I mention he is only just in his 30s? I, for one, can't wait to see the future he is going to have. London, get loud, get crazy for LOUIS TOMLINSON!'
